Kerrie DT - Cloud Nine - Fleur & Freddie

Happy Tuesday which means its my turn to share with you my Design Team make for Bee Crafty Stamps

I sticking with my new years resolution to use up stash I already have and to try new techniques with them 

I used 'Fleur & Freddie - Love Birds'

As soon as I see this stamp I thought Fleur & Freddie were flying so for this make ive created a sky as a background

I stamped the image onto watercolour card using Archival Ink (waterproof) then I painted over ths image using Art Masking Fluid so I could make the background look like its behind the figures

Using: Tumbled Glass, Broken China & Stormy Sky - Distress Inks I sponged them over the watercolour card which I had spritzed with water - I sprinkled this wet background with Salt (for a speckled rain effect) and then dried it using a heat gun on the lowest setting

I rubbed away the dry masking fluid to reveal the uncoloured image

I then watercoloured the image using Distress Markers: Walnut Stain, Fired Brick, Faded Jeans, Tattered Rose & Victorian Velvet

I matted the watercoloured picture using dark red cardstock and fixed it to a scalloped card blank. I stamped the 'With Love' WORDage stamp in the corner and used Glossy Accents on the heart balloons to finish the card
